“I like Japanese manhole covers on roads. Will you take pictures and send them to me?”
“You like curious things. Why do you like jananese manholes?”
“Because Japanese manhole cover arts are very beatiful. We can not see any manholes with arts in my country. All of them are with plain designs or no designs.”
Next day, I went out and took pictures of manhole covers on the roads near my house and sent her the best one I selected among them.
“How about the picuture of manhole I sent you?”
“Thank you so much for the picuture, Ihasan. That manhole with floral designs is very cool !”
マンホールのカバーをまじまじと見ることは普段はないのだが、よく見ると綺麗なデザインである。幾何学模様のデザインから、花柄模様のデザインまで様々なものがある。なるほど、マンホールのカバーは結構おもしろい。
マンホールおたくにはなれないが、これからは道路を歩くときはいつも、マンホールを眺めながら歩いているのだろう。
